Chapter 71
"The storm is coming!"

The palace was in chaos at this time.
The emperor was assassinated!

The moment they heard the news, everyone panicked.

what does this mean?
It means that a bloody storm is about to kick off.

……

The eldest prince's bedroom.

A little eunuch rushed in, and was thrown by the door frame because he was too anxious.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

He ran in scrambling.

"How's it going!"

The eldest prince's anxious face was covered with sweat, no matter how well-mannered he was, at this moment, he couldn't calm down at all!
"It's done...Your Highness...we succeeded!!!"

"It's done! It's done!"

Hearing this, the eldest prince slumped on the chair, two transparent tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

His face was like an overturned soy sauce bottle, full of mixed flavors.

"It's just that after the assassination, he didn't run away, and was beaten to death by the guards on the spot!"

The eldest prince sat up slowly.

There was still an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Darkly, he deserved his death, his wife was given the imperial order of the third rank, and his son was given the honor of a thousand households!"

Slowly took a step forward.

"Go, it's time to receive the fruits of our victory!"

"..."

In front of the Zijin Palace.

All civil and military officials are here.

The First Prince was dressed in white and stood on a high platform.The rest of the princes stood beside him, only the third prince and the seventh prince were absent.

Everyone had different expressions, only the second prince Li Yeyu half-closed his eyes, his face was expressionless, and he never showed any emotion on his face.

If you look closely, you can see a hint of madness in the half-closed pupils.

The eldest prince was full of grief, holding his heart with one hand, showing his heartbroken expression.

"I didn't expect... I really didn't expect that father would be assassinated by assassins in his prime, the whole country is in grief!"

The eldest prince beat his chest and stomped his feet, the acting was so real.

"When I was young, my father taught me the principle of governing the world with righteousness, and my father has indeed done so these years. Such a benevolent and benevolent monarch will be assassinated. How insane is the envoy... ..."

Talked a lot.

"However, a country cannot live without a king!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone cheered up.

The main event is coming.

"So, I would like to temporarily take over the government affairs on behalf of my father..."

"Brother Emperor, you've worked hard these two days. Let me handle government affairs like this!"

"This statement is wrong. When my father was alive, my fourth son often helped with trivial government affairs. Naturally, I am very handy with such things..."

Although it is only an opportunity to act as a temporary representative of government affairs, everyone knows that as long as this temporary representative can be obtained, the real card will not be far away.

The princes of Xuanwu Kingdom competed with each other for this position.

All of them have sharp tongues, ridicule others, and improve themselves.

"According to the old minister, it is most appropriate for the eldest prince to temporarily take over the government affairs!"

The civil servant under the stage said suddenly.

"My minister agrees!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

……

The situation was almost one-sided, civil and military officials, except for a few sporadic people who supported the other princes, almost more than [-]% supported the eldest prince.

"The Eldest Prince is highly respected and the eldest son. Let alone acting as an interim government official, even if he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor immediately, in the eyes of veterans, it's all right!"

As soon as the words came out, all the princes immediately glared at him, but after seeing who that person was, they all fell back one by one.

Since ancient times, there has been no first in writing, and no second in martial arts.

However, among the civil servants, there was a genius 80 years ago. He followed the emperor Taizu to fight the world. The current consolidation is mostly due to the contribution of the veteran of the three dynasties.

It can be said that he is another form of military god Ning Ruitian.

What is slightly different is that what he brings to people is a kind of trust. If things are entrusted to him, he can always find the most suitable method and promote the most talented talents.

In contrast, Ning Ruitian is purely a deterrent.

If you insist on a metaphor, it is equivalent to the difference between a nuclear weapon and a country's prime minister!

It can be said that it is this kind of literature and martial arts that supports most of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

It is also the rule that he cares most about the rule of 'the throne is passed on from the elders to the young' set by the Taizu Emperor, and it is precisely because he takes the lead in supporting the First Prince that the current First Prince Fang can have such a high support rate among many civil servants.

As soon as you open your mouth, it is full of weight.

The scene fell into a brief silence.

"Now that the first emperor died, it's okay to discuss the new emperor's enthronement?"

Among the generals, someone who looked down on the eldest prince stood up and retorted.

"As I said just now, a country cannot be without a king for a day. It is precisely because the former emperor passed away that it is even more necessary to elect a new emperor!"

The head of the aged civil servants stared, and his momentum was not weak at all.

"Then at least elect someone to temporarily handle government affairs..."

"This temporary replacement is meaningless in my opinion. It will only lead to differences of opinion and insufficient rights, which will shake the foundation of the country!"

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and turned around.

"Why don't we elect a new emperor at this time!"

"I propose that the eldest prince be enthroned as the new emperor. If everyone agrees, you can take a step forward and say... Second."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials stepped forward in unison.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

……

There were only three or four here and there who didn't move, and stood there awkwardly.

The faces of the other princes, except the eldest prince, turned green when they saw this scene.

I never thought that the eldest prince, who usually does not show his face, would secretly receive the support of so many ministers.

"The Holy Majesty did not establish a crown prince before his death. According to the teachings of the ancestors, the elders are established but not the young. With such a general trend, please invite the eldest prince to ascend the throne!"

With a plop, he knelt down to the First Prince.

"Also invite the eldest prince to ascend the throne!"

He knelt down behind him.

"Since the ministers are still like this, I can't be humble anymore!"

The eldest prince showed a warm smile.

"My lords, please stand up, after I change my clothes, I will perform the enthronement ceremony!"

"This is not fair!"

The youngest thirteenth prince jumped out.

He still looks like a teenager, with an unspeakable anger on his slightly childish face.

"You said just now that the emperor has not established a crown prince, don't you know why the emperor has not established a crown prince for so long?"

"Thirteenth brother!"

A prince next to him quietly tugged at his sleeve.

"Brother Ten, don't drag me, I just want to have a good time today!"

Pulling off his sleeves, he raised his eyebrows coldly at the eldest prince.

"The eldest prince, Li Tairuo, was born to a court lady, not an orthodox son. The emperor never thought of passing on the crown prince to him!"

"Now that I think about the death of my father, it is also very strange. Although the murderer is dead, the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet figured it out. The person who benefited the most after the death of my father is the elder brother. In my opinion, my father may be the elder brother." It is unknown what the emperor brother killed!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sudden silence!
